W1R2 done!

Thank you to everyone who told me to slow down after run 1. Had to take 2 rest days as I was so stiff and sore but run 2 this morning went much better and I am so pleased!

Clearly 'run' means 'jog' and not 'peg it as if you're about to miss the bus'!!

Roll on run 3...

Well done lovely. I can imagine you now legging it down the road, lol, bless you. We can support each other. I'm dreading run 2 only because as soon as I start the slow motion jog lol, I feel as if I'm a tonne weight (which I'm not lol), and the effort to jog seems so hard as if I'm going to crumble to the floor. I'm putting it down to being new to it. 😄

Good luck for your next run, we are all with you in spirit lol x

I was dreading today's run as I had found the first one so very hard, but this was much more manageable and *whisper* I actually quite enjoyed it!

Good luck for your 2nd run! x

I love that ('peg it as if you're about to miss the bus!")😂 but you're absolutely right, jog means jog and jog means slow jog. The slower the better while your muscles get used to all the extra work you're asking of them. In those early weeks my calves and shins were agonising simply because I was going too fast (and I use the term fast very loosely)! Take it easy, well done on run 2 and enjoy the next one😊
